Thanks, Obama

I'm as critical of the current White House as anyone, but kudos to President Obama for improving relations with Cuba. It's still not clear to me how much of an improvement it will be - for example, we'll be reviewing whether they are still a state sponsor of terrorism, etc.

But an improvement, it seems.

Thanks, Obama.

(Hopefully Cuba can now export its health care system to us!)

1. This will certainly make his evening

2. I'm happy you said that ...

though I'm not certain you phrased it correctly. For example, we'll be scratching our heads trying to figure out whose evening will be made, etc. But kudos ... It's a positive statement, it seems.

Thanks, BG. I guess.

3. I'm just hoping the cigars start flowing soon.

Always wanted to try a Cuban one.

17. Can't wait

To pair a nice scotch with one of those Cubans will be a delicious night

18. Or a smooth Cuban sipping rum! [nt]

5. Now if Congress would vote to remove the economic embargo,

you could thank them.

But that is not going to happen.

6. I love President Obama!

7. yeah, I'm not clear on how much of an improvement, but I guess

it's an improvement. It seems like it may be.

Sorry Manny, love ya but,

I hope you can take this in the spirit it's given.

Seriously, this is a huge deal.

8. A definite improvement-we're talking, first time since 1961!

I'm going ASAP. wanna go?

9. Thanks Manny.

They'll be off the watchlist. Obama's words on ABC News tonight convinced me of that tonight. You can't exactly open up a new embassy in a state you consider a sponsor of terrorism.

11. Thank you to everyone involved!

I am glad I lived to see it. That situation with Cuba has never made sense to me. I lived thru the Cuban missle crisis and I understand JFK had to make a token gesture. But 53 years is no token! Way too long. I can't wait to go visit. wow That will be an adventure. Want to go before the American corporations slick every thing up to Hilton standards.

12. I feel the same way.

Not sure how this will all turn out with Cuba, but credit the president and his administration for giving it a try and making it happen.

13. I was 16 years old when Batista was overthrown.

I didn't think I would live to see this day. Kudos to the president and the pope and all others who worked so hard to make this happen.

14. I would love their HC system. It is good that this has happened finally.

15. "(Hopefully Cuba can now export its health care system to us!)"

Are you kidding???

Do you know how many gearheads are drooling over the idea of buying those 50's era cars?
